ONE ATA TIME.

One step at time, and that well placed,
We reach the grandest height;
One stroke at time, earths hidden stores
Will slowly come toiight;
One seed at a time, and the forest grows
One drop ut time, aud the river flows
Into the boundless sea.
One word at time, and the greatest book
Is written aud is read
One stone at time, and the palace rears
Aloft its stately head5
One blow at time, the trees cleft through,
And city will stand where a forest grew
few short years before.
One foe at time, and he subdued,
And the conflict will be won;
One grain at time, and the sand of life
Will slowly all be run,
One minute, another, the hours fly;
One day at a time our lives speed by
Into eternity.
One grain of knowledge, and that well
stored,
Another and more on them,
And as time rolls on your mind will shine
With many garnered gem
Of thought and wisdom. And time will
tell,
Gone thing at a time, and that done well"
Is wisdom's proven rule.

Dancing or kissing.
7. w. II. IN Harper,s Bazar.

t, w. IL. in Harper's Bazaar.
1t may be asserted, in a general
way, that wherever in the United
States you do not find dancing you
find kissing. In communities where
dancing was disapproved / have
seen "string games" called for aud
carried into practice at entertain
mentS held in school houses and
even at church sOciables. In such
places church Inembers-and, for
aught | know, deacOns--take part
in the amusement; and have seen
1t develop triskineSs, so to speak,
in grizzled men, which made them
one would say, anything but sednc-
tive or beguiling to the young aud
fair. Among those of earlier years
kissing becomes in such cOmmuni-
ties systematic pursuit, like hunt
ing or fishing. Young girls whose
parents object to it are neglected
or disliked +; young mau in such a
village told a friend of mine, with
some indignation, that she was the
only girl in town whom he had not
kissed. 1t is no use to object to it
as immoral where the church men,
bers are committed to 1t. Perhaps
1t cannot be called immoral j; but
when society has reached certain
stage of refinement these games
vanish. The symbol of that ill.,
creased refinement is usually dane
ing. Dancing, whatever its draw
backs, serves practically as the
antidote to kissing games; where
one begins the other dies out. They
do not seem to flourish side by side;
at any rate, people rarely go back
from dancing to kissing. Granting,
for the sake OF argument, that it is
necessary to have some amusement,
the choice lies in our villages and
their scattered families between
these two forms of relaxation.
Which is the better of the twOi

A SURPRISE.

1t was chilly December night
when the train got into Hampden.
Hampden was one of those new un-
finished places which require the
brightest of sunlight, the greenest
fame of quivering leaves, TO make
them at all presentable. And in
the gray, uucompromising medium
of the December dusk Hampden
looked dreary enough, with the
dark chimney OF the new silk mill,
rising out Of the henlock woods,
the staring depot, the church, which
bore strong family resemblance
to "A child's wooden toy, aud the
stone quarry TO the left, which re-
miude the thoughtful lOOker-On of
gigantic fortlticatiOU in All unfn-
ell state.
''Humph !" said Mrs. Medley, as
she looked around her. ga queer
place.
Her niece, Phebc, was there to
meet her with box wagon and IA
white e.nOSed old horse.
"How is Phllipi' asked Mrs.
Medley.
"Philip is WE'LL" said Phebc, as
she helped the depot boy TO hoist
Aunt Nedley's trunk into the wag
on.
Philip Barrow was Mrs. Nedley's
fav0rite nephew. She had paid his
billSat school, superin ended his for
tunes, and finally purchased three
shares for him in the new silk mills.
"Hc's all Pve got" except Phebe
and Phebe and l never did hitch
horses together. Aud | want him
to succeed in the world.
But within n few days new
claimant had arisen to Aunt Ned
ley's protection and tender cOnsid-
pIatiOn.
$40 be sure, she is no relation to
me-" said Mrs. Medley, "but her
mother was my dearest friend, and
think 1 will adopt her for my
,ake.'"
And | was scarcely an hour from

She had waited and waited and

waited plan had developed itself

drs. Medley. "Phll is II handsome

This tally explains Mrs. Nedley's
presence at Hampden.
